if you work alot and have a family, how many days a week do you ride?

Ive got 3 kids under 3 (twins that are almost three and a 1 month old). I ride once a week typically in the afternoon after work or on a weekend when they are down for nap. Luckily we have a lot of family around that can pick the twins up from daycare right now so I can ride. Also got a lot of other hobbies to fit in. Speaking of which, hunting season is right around the corner and I havent even shot my Bow this year.

I ride five or six times a week but I do four of those rides at 6:00 AM before work and before anything happens at my house. My wife is really good to get breakfast going etc so I can do that. Although during the school year I fix breakfast (we eat at 6:15am) then I take my son to his early morning seminary class then ride for about an hour before work.

Just have one kid at home now and he's in high school so kid obligations are greatly diminished.... but I did pretty much the same routine when I had four kids at home.

Married and two kids, but kids are getting older. I work 50 hours a week, ride both of my days off, but try to ride early in the am, then get home and have the rest of the day with the Family. Then after work, I will ride a short loop near my home and get in 6-7 miles, usually at a full sprint pace. The short rides still help with my fitness, then the days off are more Mountain riding. I average about 35 miles a week riding, and at 52 years old, have not been in this shape since before I was 30. I average 4 rides a week.

I have two kids, one graduated and one just starting high school. I work long hours and train BJJ during lunch breaks and 4 evenings a week. I mainly ride at daylight before work and one early morning on the weekends for a few hours. About once a month I take a half day ride on a longer trail when possible. I am fortunate that my office is about a mile from some great single track.

I'm a single dad with a 4 year old that lives with me sun morning - Thursday night and I work the time she is with her mom. Literally the whole 2 1/2 days I work. It may seem like not a lot because its not 5-7 days a week but I put in a ridiculous amount of hours.. I decided over a year ago to park my cars and haven't touched them since. That said I ride at leased 5 days a week mostly road but also some light trails that my kiddo can do. "real" mountain biking doesn't happen much at all for me any more. I am lucky my daughter is awesome and will ride 13 miles with me at 4 and is getting better every day.
Shes pretty rad. Even got her some lights for night riding the canal and parks

Twin 7 month old girls, small business owner, and I have a Cane Corso that needs to hit 1 good hike a week. I usually get out 1-2x/week for a ride. Night riding is my best friend now I go out after the kids go down.

I lose sleep when I ride but if you love something you will find a way.

I work in restaurants so my hours are 70-80 a week without fail. My two days off are spent with my non-riding daughter when I pick her up from her mother's place. Now that she is back in school, my riding will go up from zero days a week with an occasional night ride when I'm not exhausted to twice a week since my days off are during the school week.

I work 45-60 hours a week, I have a Wife, and a 4 month old Son. I only get to ride one day a week if I'm lucky. Usually I will ride Saturday morning starting around 4:30-5:00 am, and usually home by 9:00 am. I go early so I can be home shortly after my Wife and Son get up. That way my Wife can go to the gym and I can watch my Son as well.

Married, 2 small kids (1.5 and 3.5) and I have my regular 'day job' plus I do side work for extra $$/building a consulting practice.

I usually get 3 rides a week in the 2-3 hour range + 3 weight training sessions. I'm not a 9-5er though. I usually get up at 5-6am and do work, then help with kids till the wifey wakes up. Sometimes I'll then head out for a ride, sometimes I have meetings or work that needs to be done so I won't get out till later. Generally I do more work in the afternoon or even late if I have to.

I try to do at least one mid-week evening ride and a longer Saturday ride. I live two miles from work and commute by bike a lot. In the summer I work 4-10s with Fridays off so I'm able to get more riding time in.

Two kids and a stay-at-home wife. Sure she could work or we could move to the "big city" and make more money and have a longer commute, but we're happy with our current situation.

We have 3 kids who are already on grade school, so we are not afraid to leave them alone knowing that they can handle and take good care of their-selves. So my husband and I go for ride every afternoon after work. But during weekends we encourage our children to join us on our ride. It's like a family bonding you know.

1 6yo kiddo (girl), wife and I both work 50-60 hour weeks regularly. I feel like I get 2 rides a week in, but work and business travel means that I can be off the bike for a week or two at a time, so it's really a true average of 1x a week. My wife and daughter have started riding, so easier rides have become more of a family adventure that is quite nice. Though I do wish I worked less and had more time for riding and other things. But there are bills to pay and investments to make. Hopefully will ease up in a few years.

I work full time, Mon-Fri, usually 9 hour days. In May we had our first child. For the past few years I've ridden to work a little bit, but this year I started to much more. That allows me to exercise and bike and only spend a minimal amount of extra time. My commute would usually be 20 minutes to work and 30 minutes home. I usually get up 45 minutes early and ride anywhere from 10-20 miles on my way to work since my wife and son are typically still in bed, then 10 on the way home (shortest safe route). I get home about 20 minutes later than I would if I drove, but for 1.5-2 hours of exercise, that's pretty damn good. I usually do 1 recreational ride a week, whether it be, road, mountain or CX.

I work a (space needed here) lot and have half time custody of a 13 year old. I'm lucky he has embraced my passion and is charging (this is him hitting the 8'out 8' down ladder drop in the new local bike park for the first time on a borrowed hard tail sans pads)...so I get 2-3 rides/week.
